the letter carrier comes and goes nothing but junk or nothing at all I guess you’ve gone down the hill for the night indisposed and unavailable for the usual running commentary there are reasons for this quite honorable ones they clearly justify the repetitive triggering of the fore mentioned, sanctioned clause a voice in my head begins to mumble so I go to the icebox and unleash the vodka I pour it over the dissenting voice and it quiets down for a while I must keep at it one glass after another until I pass out on the couch or at my desk while writing something resembling this these are the fruits of our love the thing we celebrate in our music, poetry and life but Im beginning to feel like Im missing something a part that equals more than this crude rendering of the whole however when thoughts such as that press I just pour and pour again until there is nothing left [This message has been edited by Drexler_McStyles (05-10-2003 11:41 AM).] |

You both thrill me and frustrate me. (That's a compliment.) You write such logical madness with such clean lines--I shame to go back and read my feeble attempts. But then, I guess that's just all part of the deal... I do want to say, you manage to strike emotional chords that free verse does not normally strike in me--I find that intriguing. (smile? that's right--yer still under my microscope!) |

"these are the fruits of our love the thing we celebrate in our music, poetry and life but Im beginning to feel like Im missing something a part that equals more than a crude rendering of the whole however when thoughts such as that press I just pour and pour again until there is nothing left" I wish I had written this one. I'm keeping it in my library, for inspiration and an emotional jolt to stimulate my heartbeat. |

Yep, you got somethin' eatin' at. But, I always enjoy the regurgitation. |
